Indy games markets have been flooded with human slop since long before AI was a thing, the marketing playbook hasn't changed at all, if you just fire games into the void you never had a shot.

it took 1 month to make a human slop, now it takes 1 day
People have been making games in a weekend using asset packs/store resources and engines for a while now.
